Amongst the mountains of Lesotho, an 80-year-old widow winds up her affairs and makes arrangements for her burial. But when her village is threatened with resettlement due to the construction of a reservoir, she finds a new will to live and ignites a spirit of resistance within her community. Mary Twala gives an intimate yet epic performance as an 80-year-old widow fighting plans for a dam that will obliterate her village in Lesotho, an independent kingdom landlocked within the South African territory. The film grapples with the ghosts of centuries-old colonialism that are manifested today in the dismissal of native ownership.&nbsp; This is an extraordinary and otherworldly feature film. It is the tale of a rebel spirit, a film about resistance and resilience.
